Think I’ve decided on the solar installer and generally what we want…I’d drafted him an email last night but not sent it yet.

I went up into the attic and actually explored the trussed area. If only it wasn’t trusses, it would be a huge space … ideal for Lego train installation 😅

Also found we had a TV antenna in the attic, it wasn’t really pointing in the right direction but it’s wired into the maze of cables that go round the house. I also saw some of the pink network cables that seem to go round the house but don’t actually come out anywhere. They appear behind the patch panel but none of them are wired in. Wish I had a schematic or could talk to someone who knows about the build to find out what those are. I could cut one and have Ethernet (and power via poe) in the attic but I don’t know where it goes. Unless it’s used for telephone? That doesn’t seem right as it’s better quality than the network cable that is connected up to the patch panel and ports in the rooms.

Been investigating new antenna for radio…they’re always quite big when you draw them against a picture of the house.
